Re: [T3] Distributor Question


Found in the archives....

So that answers one question.

But then how do I set my timing for Sophy?  Just set it for 7.5 BTDC at idle
with the vacuum hose off.  And then doesn't it stay there?  How would I get
the 28 degrees total advance or so that everyone talks about.  Does the
vacuum advanced give it that much?  Should I be timing it like a 71 since
the cam, carnk, and dzzy driveshaft are from my 71?  SHold I throw in the 71
dizzy?

I should mention that she ran good with this dizzy in the original 1966
single port engine that was in her before this weekend.

Any insight appreciated.
